Boooom

11th Ward, the base of the Aogiri Tree

After Owl disappeared from the fight, both Kuroiwa and Shinohara were left there. Shinohara was severely injured and could barely stand, and Kuroiwa was holding him. He was in a much better state than his colleague.

BOOOOOOOM

Only one sound was heard and the entire building started shaking at first and the whole building started collapsing. Explosives planted by Noro through the entire building finally detonated an entire building would collapse in several seconds. Buring together with it, several hundred cannon fodders of the CCG.

"Madam Itori, you should retreat and wait for me at the pre-arranged place. I would return after killing my target."

Said Zelilios respectfully to the Itori as they watched this huge building collapse. Zelilios aimed to kill just Shinohara because he knew that he was severely injured and killing him would be very easy.

On the contrary, Kuroiwa was rather fine and he could defend against him with Arata Proto for some time.

Itori pouted, and then she nodded her head and silently retreated from this place, eventually leaving the 11th Ward. As she was retreating, she killed several escaping people. Because the entire building was already devoid of the ghouls, only humans remained here.

In the meantime, Zelilios was watching collapsing radio tower, which almost fell on the Special Class Investigators, Kuroiwa and Shinohara, until Owl saved them. Zelilios smiled at this and took out two spears that Lucien found in the ruins of the Shi Xue Clan.

Then he threw one kagune spear, aiming at the Special Class Investigator Kuroiwa, who was holding a severely injured Shinohara and was using his quinque, Kuroiwa Special, to support both of them.

One must say that even though Kuroiwa was human, his reflexes were very good as he managed to notice the kagune spear and hurriedly blocked it with his quinque Kuroiwa Special, which was an oversized butcher knife.

Something miraculous happened afterward. Even though he managed successfully block the kagune spear, but his own quinque was shattered in the process.

Completely destroyed.

Kuroiwa was completely shocked by the fact his kagune shattered like porcelain, but he didn't have time to think about it.

It was because Zeilios was already before them, and with one strong kick, he kicked investigator Kuroiwa several meters away, and with his spear, he pierced through the heart of Special Class Ghoul Investigator Shinohara. Instant Kill.

Today, 19. December, on the 11th Ward Battle, Special Class Ghoul Investigator, Invulnerable Shinohara, has fallen to the enemy. This would be very good news to many ghouls because Special Class Investigators were too rare and they weren't some disposable pawns that could be replaced anytime.

When it came to the ghoul subjugation, SS-Rate would need several Special Class Investigators to group upon him. Of course, if they are ordinary investigators, not some geniuses like Arima Kishou, who were terrified by one word.

This talked about how rare were Special Classes in the CCG. There were only a few of them and now one of them fell. A glorious victory for ghouls in Japan and a disastrous defeat for humans in Japan.

After Zelilios killed Special Class Shinohara, he quickly escaped from the already collapsing building.

"Commander Marude, the entire building, is collapsing and all of our people are still inside."

Reported one person, sitting behind computers, to Marude Itsuki, who was shocked by surprise.

"Evacuate!!!! Immediately!!!"

Yelled Marude in anger when he saw the entire building collapsing on the people of the CCG. He was a person who valued his subordinates and colleagues. It was quite a rare sight for people like him to be in the lead of such large-scale operations.

After some time, when Marude calmed down a little, he turned to his assistant Mabuchi, who had just now finished a call.

"How are the loses?"

Asked Marude with anger and hatred in his voice. It was clear that the entire battle here was just a trap to kill as many of their people as possible. Even Associate Special Class fell and countless lower-ranked investigators.

"More than 90% were in the building when it collapsed and only a minority of them managed to escape that collapse. Many of them would be killed either by an explosion or the collapsing building. It's hard to tell losses now, but probably more than half of them won't be able to return."

Said Mabuchi with sadness in his voice as he looked at Marude.

"FUUUUUUCCCKKK!!!!!"

Screamed Marude when he heard that. From originally one thousand or so people, not even half managed to survive. This was an utter catastrophe. The entire operation turned out to be a huge loss for the CCG.

Lucien wanted the Commission of Counter Ghoul to have catastrophic losses. Only one reason was behind this. If they killed too many of the CCG people and high-ranked ghoul investigators, the equilibrium would be disrupted, and the Washuu Clan would do anything to preserve it. They would bring agents of the Vasuki to the play and also some of their hidden people.

Because agents of the Vasuki were always hiding in the dark, like some rats, it was incredibly hard to find them or their bases. Now they won't be able to hide for long, as they would now be more on the world's light.

Lucien's plan to give CCG a critical blow was completed in one part. Now only remained only one thing and that was Cochlea. Even though Marude won't be able to move people to the Cochlea cause more than half were killed and the rest was injured, they would have a significantly easier time.
